The Witcher 3 Enhanced Edition mod looks pretty comprehensive. Basically, they yanked out leveling and Geralt’s ability to be better at combat than you are. Now you have to actually pay attention to where the sword goes and how far away your target is and a bunch of other stuff. It’s simultaneously fascinating…
…and something I refuse to load. I’m in my late forties. I appreciate that Geralt is better in combat than me. He ought to be, after all. But, of course, your mileage may vary.

That is not my idea of an “enhanced edition.” Now, I will conceal nothing and admit that starting Geralt from Level *1* all. Three. GAMES seemed excessive nerfing.

But no. Twitchy combat is already cumbersome to me. I’m content chaining the moves and letting a character who is supposed to be a master swordsman do his thing. This looks to me like the fantasy of the HEMA crowd.
